At least David Bowman can shut down HAL. 😅

I wondered whether Pinocchio could be framed as a plea for tolerance for the LGBTQ+ alphabet mafia, and ChatGPT seems to think it can. Here's what it said:

The plot of Pinocchio can be interpreted as a plea for tolerance for the LGBT movement in several ways. First, Pinocchio is an outsider who does not fit in with the norms of society. He is different from other boys, not only because he is made of wood, but also because he has a fluid identity that changes according to his actions and experiences. He is constantly searching for his true self and his place in the world. Second, Pinocchio faces discrimination and oppression from various characters who exploit him, mock him, or try to change him. He is sold as a commodity, ridiculed for his nose, and almost turned into an animal. He also struggles with internalized shame and guilt for his mistakes and flaws. Third, Pinocchio finds acceptance and love from Geppetto, Jiminy, and the Blue Fairy, who support him unconditionally and help him grow as a person. They represent the allies and mentors of the LGBT community who offer guidance and affirmation. Fourth, Pinocchio’s transformation into a real boy can be seen as a metaphor for coming out as LGBT or transitioning to one’s preferred gender identity. It is a process that requires courage, honesty, and selflessness, as well as overcoming external and internal obstacles. It is also a celebration of one’s authenticity and individuality.

Therefore, Pinocchio can be viewed as a story that promotes tolerance and diversity for the LGBT movement by showing the struggles and joys of being different in a hostile and conformist world. It also encourages people to be true to themselves and follow their dreams.

Repurposing the classics via ChatGPT could become very addictive!

It is fin-de-siecle (or, rather, fin-de-civilisation) feminization of the male and flattening of the gender divide. It is out-and-out satanic and nothing less than we ought to expect, given the zeitgeist.

I completely agree. Worth a look if you have not read them:

The Crisis Of The Modern World — René Guénon

The Occult War — Léon de Poncins and Emmanuel Malynski

Revolt Against The Modern World — Julius Evola

My own books (particularly The God Protocol) which you can download free: quranite.com

I have your works, plus those of Guenon and Evola. Will definitely check out the de Poncins/Malynski title. Thanks.

I had an 'argument' with Bing's GPT platform, which assured me that there is no such thing as innate ontological or epistemological hierarchy, and that I should rethink my position. You're right about the value of ChatGPT for mundane things like language learning, but its position vis-a-vis existential reality and truth is execrable, and fully reflective of its woke programmers.
